What to Know About Ranked-Choice Results in the N.Y.C. Mayor's Race
That victory is likely to come on Tuesday.
Since Mr. Mamdani received less than 50 percent of the vote in the first round of counting, a runoff was triggered under New York City's relatively new ranked-choice voting system. The system allows voters to rank up to five candidates in order of preference. Now, the candidates with the least first-choice support will be eliminated, round by round, and their votes redistributed to voters' next choices.
The Board of Elections will release the ranked-choice results on Tuesday, one week after the primary. Here's what to know:
When will the results be available?
The ranked-choice voting results are slated to be released online at noon, according to a news release from the Board of Elections.
What will they include?
The Board of Elections said it would report the tally of all the ballots that were counted during the city's nine days of in-person early voting and on Primary Day, as well as mail-in ballots received and processed by Primary Day.
The board plans to release updated numbers weekly on Tuesdays until all ballots are counted and final results certified. The final results will include absentee ballots.
There were 11 candidates in the race. With an estimated 93 percent of the vote counted last Tuesday, Mr. Mamdani had the support of 43.5 percent of the city's Democratic primary voters, leading Mr. Cuomo by about seven percentage points.

The Latest: House leaders rush toward a final vote as Democrats hold the floor
House Republicans are ready to vote on President Donald Trump's $4.5 trillion tax breaks and spending cuts bill early Thursday after staying up all night with GOP leaders and the president himself working to persuade skeptical holdouts to drop their opposition by his Fourth of July deadline. Final debates began in the predawn hours after another chaotic day and night at the Capitol following a series of closed-door meetings. Putting the bill on Trump's desk would be a milestone for the president and his party as Republicans have the votes to overcome Democratic opposition to a long list of GOP priorities. Trump's 'one big beautiful bill,' an 800-plus page package, is a defining measure of his return to the White House. Read what's in the full bill for yourself. Here's the latest: Alaska Democrats dial up pressure on Murkowski Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego says Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski 'folded like a cheap suit' on Trump's big bill. The newly elected Arizona senator spoke during a virtual town hall Wednesday night organized by the Alaska Democratic Party as it worked to dial up pressure on Murkowski, who faces re-election next year in a race crucial to Democrats in their difficult path to a Senate majority. Gallego decried the Alaska carveouts Murkowski secured in exchange for her vote, calling the deal the 'Kodiak kicker,' while Alaska's other Republican senator, Dan Sullivan, 'didn't even attempt to fight.' The bill hurts working class families nationwide, Gallego said, and Sullivan and Murkowski 'screwed and rigged these working class people to benefit the Uber rich.' US employers add a surprising 147,000 jobs despite uncertainty The American labor market continues to show surprising resilience despite uncertainty over Trump's economic policies. The unemployment rate ticked down 4.1% from 4.2% in May, the Labor Department said Thursday. Hiring rose modestly from a revised 144,000 in May and beat economists expectations of fewer than 118,000 new jobs as Trump's trade wars, the federal hiring freeze and immigration crackdown weigh on the American job market. U.S. applications for jobless aid fell to 233,000 last week as layoffs remain low. A survey released Wednesday by the payroll processor ADP found that private companies cut 33,000 jobs last month, reflecting a hesitancy to hire and a reluctance to replace departing workers. The president's deportations, meanwhile, are driving immigrants out of the U.S. labor force. Those working and looking for work fell by 625,000 in May, the biggest drop in a year and a half. What's in the Big Beautiful Bill Act At some 887 pages, the legislation includes tax breaks, spending cuts, a rollback of solar energy tax credits, new money for national defense and deportations. The bill does not eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits, despite what Trump says. The bill rolls back past presidential agendas: In many ways, the package is a repudiation of the agendas of the last two Democratic presidents, a chiseling away at the Medicaid expansion from Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, and a pullback of Joe Biden's climate change strategies in the Inflation Reduction Act. Congressional Budget Office review: The nonpartisan CBO said Sunday the bill would pile nearly $3.3 trillion onto the nation's debt load from 2025 to 2034, a nearly $1 trillion increase over the House-passed version of the bill. The analysis also found that 11.8 million Americans would become uninsured by 2034 if the bill passed. White House: The big bill is kind of like the solution to a bad hair day With Trump's spending and tax cut bill nearing passage, the White House is getting creative in pitching it to Americans who haven't been closely following the debate over the legislation. The White House late Wednesday dropped a tongue-in-cheek video on social media that includes before and after shots of women who transform flat hair to voluminous bouffants as a narrator ticks off aspects of the bill that she says will make Americans' lives better. 'Are you tired of government promises falling flat? Do you go through an outrageous amount of stress just trying to get by?' the narrator intones as a woman screams in frustration over her bad hair day. 'Then bump it up with 'one big, beautiful bill' and get that relief fast and easy.' By the end of the short video, the screaming woman and others are sporting new hairdos that are markedly more voluminous. Hakeem Jeffries has been talking for three hours and counting Republican leadership spent much of the night and early morning persuading a handful of holdouts to support the Senate-approved tax cuts and spending bill. But now, House Speaker Mike Johnson appears to have the votes, and Democrats are standing in the way. As the House wrapped up its debate over passing Trump's agenda, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries used a tool known as the 'magic minute' that allows leaders unlimited time to speak. He started his address just before 5 a.m. ET. And it's still going. 'I'm going to take my time,' he said, before launching into a speech criticizing Republicans' deference to Trump, reading through personal accounts of people concerned about losing their health care coverage, and recounting American history. Eventually, Jeffries will end his speech, and Republicans will move to final passage of the bill.

Trump's Task as He Heads to Iowa: Selling His Bill to the American Public
President Trump appeared on the cusp of a major political victory Thursday morning, as House Republicans moved one step away from passing his sprawling domestic policy bill. But after spending days cajoling and coaxing lawmakers of his own party to line up behind the legislation, the president faces another test: selling the bill to the American public or risk losing support to a furious Democratic campaign focused on how it helps the wealthy at the expense of working people. That effort will begin in earnest on Thursday night when Mr. Trump travels to Des Moines, Iowa, for the kickoff of America250, a yearlong series of events to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the country's founding. Mr. Trump has told Republicans he wants to sign the bill by Friday and celebrate its passage alongside July 4 festivities. The president and his aides have argued the legislation is critical to achieving his domestic agenda and fulfilling his campaign promises. They have focused on the bill's provisions that would slash taxes by about $4.5 trillion while increasing funding for the military and border security. 'THE ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL DEAL IS ALL ABOUT GROWTH,' Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social on Wednesday. 'IF PASSED, AMERICA WILL HAVE AN ECONOMIC RENAISSANCE LIKE NEVER BEFORE.' But the bill would also cut roughly $1 trillion from Medicaid, reduce food assistance and add trillions of dollars to the federal deficit — and Democrats plan to make that the centerpiece of their midterm elections campaign. Their effort will be aided by Republicans, many of whom spent weeks raising concerns about the legislation's deep cuts and will surely feature in campaign ads in the coming months. Democratic political groups have already announced plans to run ads against vulnerable House Republicans, highlighting their support for the bill. They will try to replicate a playbook from 2018, during Mr. Trump's first term, when Democrats took control of the House on a platform that focused heavily on Republicans' efforts to roll back the Affordable Care Act. Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the House Democratic leader, spent hours on the House floor Thursday morning assailing the legislation as he made his way through a thick binder of stories about Medicaid. 'This bill represents the largest cut to health care in American history,' Mr. Jeffries said Thursday. 'It's an all-out assault on the health care of the American people.' Mr. Jeffries said the president promised 'he was going to love and cherish Medicaid.' 'Nothing about this bill loves and cherishes Medicaid,' he said. 'It guts Medicaid.' Republicans tried to avoid immediate political backlash by delaying the new cuts and work requirements until about next year's midterm elections. But Democrats will find some help in keeping those changes front and center: Senator Josh Hawley, Republican of Missouri who voted to support the legislation, said he planned to spend the next two years trying to undo the Medicaid provisions because he was so opposed to them. Ruth Igielnik contributed reporting.
